Alta Via dell'Anfiteatro Morenico di Ivrea - AMI

The Alta Via of the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea is an impressive circular route that runs clockwise from Andrate to Brosso along the morainic amphitheatre formed in the Quaternary period by the glacier that occupied the Dora Baltea valley, at its outlet onto the Canavese plain.The glaciation has left us a structure of great geomorphological interest. Its excellent conservation has provided us with an open-air book where we can read the effects of the succession of ice ages and interglacial periods in the Pleistocene era, from 1.65 million to 130,000 years ago. Lakes nestled amid lush greenery, from Lake Viverone to the 5 lakes of Ivrea to Lake Candia, castles such as the one in Masino, admirably managed by Italy's national trust, the FAI, charming villages, woods and vineyards where excellent wines such as Erbaluce are produced: the extraordinary landscape, historical and cultural value of this rich and varied itinerary means you can combine the pleasure of a hike with countless opportunities to visit and discover the area.

The itinerary was promoted within the platform as part of the PITEM M.I.T.O. project. – Outdoor OFF - Interreg Italy-France Cross-Border Cooperation Program ALCOTRA 2014-2020.
